DF-Prints. Here is a print by Robert Malinowski that was taken near Perdix, Pennsylvania, on 24 May 1962. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8615 and #8616. Both are AS-24M's built by the American Locomotive Company in August of 1956 and rated at 2,400 horsepower each. They're pulling a mineral train out of Altoona to the Enola Yards. Wave to the Engineman! Visible at the right is a small stretch of the Susquehanna River. Brad Mann Collection.

Winter Day. Here is an original telephoto view that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in February of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8616 and #8614. Both are AS-24M's built by the American Locomotive Company in August of 1956 and rated at 2,400 horsepower each. They're passing the Altoona Passenger Station on their way back to East Altoona after making a helper/pusher run up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and back. Visible in the background is the PRR's Test Plant building.
